Earlier today, she took to her Instagram account and posted a picture of herself in training gear to let her followers know the exciting news. She has been named as the new ambassador for Shield deodorant.

She wrote: "I am the new ambassador for Shield Deodorant. Activated by movement - representing the woman who is on the go and needs the ultimate protection! #blessed #shieldready #fitsquad."

A month ago, Briefly.co.za reported that in a matter of weeks, the Mzansi actress, Amanda du Pont, travelled from the tropical islands in Thailand to the snow-covered Alps in France. How did she do it?

Amanda has this thing about visualising her dreams and aiming to achieve them. She often takes snaps of where she's been and then reflects on how she got there. But that time around, Amanda posted the pic on her Instagram but didn't explain what she was doing in the Alps, just that she was very grateful.
